Yey! More reviews, hehe! Ok, sorry, I shall continue with the story now! There may not be much 2x5 stuff in this chappie though coz… uh… well I'm sure you'll get it when you read it! Little bit of 3x4.
Numbuh two sat and stared with a vacant expression at the TV screen as numbuh three and four played their video game (with numbuh four getting more and more agitated by the second). Numbuh one had finished with whatever he was typing on the super computer and had gone upstairs, telling them to shout him down when the pizzas arrived. Then when numbuh four had almost cracked the TV screen by throwing his controller at it, numbuh three walked out the room, telling him she didn't play with big meanie heads, which just left numbuh two and his best friend alone. They were both silent for a few minutes until numbuh two let out a huge sigh.
"Looks like we're both striking out huh?" He asked, turning towards numbuh four.
"What do ya mean?" Asked numbuh four in confusion.
"Well, I don't wanna ask numbuh five out, and you don't wanna ask-"
"OI DON'T LOIKE NUMBUH THREE AS ANYTHING BUT A FRIEND!" Numbuh four yelled angrily. Numbuh two rolled his eyes.
"I don't know who you think you're fooling numbuh four, 'coz it's none of us, and definitely not yourself, so why don't you just ask her?"
"Yeah? Well what about you? Why don't you just ask numbuh five? You're totally in love with 'er, everyone can see that!"
"I can't ask her," said numbuh two sadly.
"Well why not?" Asked numbuh four impatiently.
"Look at me numbuh four, I'm a geek, I'm so not in numbuh five's league, and I'm not exactly a stick insect am I? She'd just reject me!" He said quietly, looking down at the floor. Numbuh four sat and stared at his friend in surprise for a few minutes.
"Oi'll tell you what, tonight at dinner, I'll ask numbuh three out, and you ask numbuh five, that way at least we know where we stand if they turn us down," shrugged numbuh four. Numbuh two looked up at him then grinned.
"Sure, o.k, tonight," he replied. He held out his hand and numbuh four gave him a high five, and they sat and grinned like a couple of idiots.
Suddenly the super computer started beeping, but it wasn't the urgent alarm, so numbuh two took his time in walking over to answer. Numbuh 63.5's face appeared on the large screen.
"Ah, numbuh two, just the person I wanted to speak to, I have a proposition for you," he said, his words rather muffled because of his brace.
"Ok, shoot," yawned numbuh two (numbuh 63.5 tended to put you to sleep when it wasn't an urgent mission, just the sound of his voice made you feel sleepy).
"That's a negatory, I want this message to be passed on in private," he said, glaring at numbuh four.
"Whatever," shrugged numbuh four, heaving himself off of the couch. "Later, numbuh two, 65 point dweeb," he nodded at them both as he left the room. Numbuh 65.3 narrowed his eyes at numbuh four but then cleared his throat and looked back at numbuh two.
"Now then, I'm sure you heard that our head engineer for 2x4 technology, numbuh 254, was recently decommissioned?" Asked numbuh 65.3.
"Err, yeah, I got wind of it," replied numbuh 2, intrigued as to where this conversation was going.
"Well, I suppose you'll have guessed there's now a spot open as head engineer, and since you're the best 2x4 technologist we've ever had, numbuh 362 was wondering if you'd like to apply for the spot." Numbuh two was taken aback.
"What? No way! I'd never leave sector V!" Said numbuh two in shock.
"Alright, alright, there's no need to get so uptight," said numbuh 65.3, raising his eyebrows. "This is numbuh 65.3, signing out." The screen went blank. Numbuh two felt quite upset at the thought of leaving sector V, and, of course, numbuh five! Suddenly the door was thrown open and numbuh's five and 105 stood in it's frame, numbuh five looking quite stressed, numbuh 105's expression completely relaxed. The rest of sector V had obviously heard the door crash against the wall, because numbuh's one and four entered the room, followed by a skipping numbuh three who was chanting "pizza! Pizza! Yummy cheesy pizza!"
"There ain't any pizza just yet," numbuh five explained to her.
"Aw! Why?" Asked numbuh three in disappointment.
"'Coz it was so crowded in dat place the walls were bulgin'! So we just told 'em to deliver one to us, so it'll be round about 5 minutes yet." The rest of them all groaned in disappointment and hunger. They all went and collapsed onto either the sofa, chair or floor, out of hunger and boredom.
"So 'ow come you took so long getting' back?" Asked numbuh four, once he was sick of listening to the sounds of tummies rumbling.
"I was showin' numbuh 105 all the sights," shrugged numbuh five. "Turns out we got quite a lot in common huh?" She grinned at numbuh 105.
"Sure does," numbuh 105 smiled back.
"'An what did numbuh 65 point dweeb want huh?" Numbuh four continued on with his little quiz.
"Uh, nothing! Just some stuff about some blueprints on a new aircraft or something like that," numbuh two lied, feeling their eyes all bore into him. After all, there was no point in making them all paranoid over nothing was there? The next few minutes up until the pizza arrived were the most boring minutes of their lives, so when the doorbell finally rang they practically flew to the door, and all crashing simultaneously into the front door, while numbuh one's dad tutted at the racket over the top of his evening newspaper. Once they were back upstairs, round the kitchen table and stuffing their faces with ham and pineapple, pepperoni and double cheese pizza, a happy chatter broke out round the table. Numbuh's five and 105 were discussing the newest band they both seemed to be into, numbuh three was just happily munching on a pizza. numbuh's one, two and four were arguing over who should have been elected class president. Suddenly numbuh three went out the room to get a soda, and numbuh four, with a quick, nervous nod in numbuh two's direction, got up and followed her. It took quite a while before there was any sign of the two of them, and numbuh two guessed numbuh four was getting one word a minute out. Eventually they heard numbuh three squeal so loudly with delight people down the street could easily have heard them.
"Woah, what's up with her?" Asked numbuh five, after nearly choking on her glass of water.
"Probably just found out a new rainbow monkeys on sale or something," shrugged numbuh one. Soon numbuh three came running into the room, holing hands with a very red in the face but pleased looking numbuh four.
"Guess what! Guess what! Numbuh four is my boyfriend!" She yelled happily. Numbuh's one and five gasped, numbuh two grinned and numbuh 105's face was totally indifferent.
"Man, dat's great guys!" Numbuh five laughed.
"Yes, congratulations," smiled numbuh one.
"Well done mate," smiled numbuh two, giving his best friend thumbs up.
"Your turn," numbuh four whispered to numbuh two, as he took a seat back at the table. Numbuh two swallowed the lump in his throat and turned to face numbuh five. He took in her beautiful honey brown eyes, her soft, silky black hair, even the way her cute mouth moved up and down as she chewed. He didn't care what any adults said, kids could fall in love, he just knew it. He cleared his throat quietly and started,
"Nu-"
"I also have an announcement to make," numbuh 105 cut across him. He then turned to numbuh five. "Abigail, I know we haven't known each other long… about half a day to be precise… and I know this sounds ridiculous… but I really like you… so… will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, for the first time that day, there was emotion in his voice. Everyone around the table was now staring, jaws dropped, looks of utter disbelief pasted on their faces. Numbuh two could feel his once inflating heart now start to deflate slowly; waiting for numbuh five's answer was the longest five seconds of his life.
"I-Well-sure, I'd be happy to," smiled numbuh five, sounding completely astounded. Everybody else turned and stared at number two, who now felt like numbuh five had just ripped his heart out and torn it right into pieces. His chest actually hurt, maybe his heart actually was breaking… he couldn't stand the sight of what was around him anymore. The expressions, the open mouths, the lovey dovey looks between numbuh's five and 105, he felt ill.
"I-I just have to go to the bathroom," he said quickly rushing out. He ran into his room and slammed the door. He removed his goggles, which were all steamed up from his tears. How could he spend the next thirteen years, watching the love of his life prance around the same tree house he lived in with someone else? How could he be on missions, knowing his heart would just completely shatter the moment he saw numbuh five's face? He lay down on his bed and let the tears trickle down his face freely for a while. Eventually, something came to him. It was a last resort, but he'd do anything to get away from here. He walked over to the computer in his room, and began to type something out, and a face appeared on the screen.
"Hello?"
"Hi, numbuh 65.3, about that proposition…"
Dun Dun DUUUN! Lol awww poor numbuh two! The same thing happened to me once, it really does hurt! Anyways please R n R buh bye xoxox
